The Eclipse is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Nottingham Greyhound Stadium.

It was inaugurated in 1938 at Lythalls Lane Stadium in Coventry. Following the closure of the stadium in 1964 the competition briefly switched to Kings Heath Stadium before that in turn also closed down in 1971. Hall Green Stadium acted as a temporary host before the race returned to its roots in Coventry at the Brandon Stadium. Coventry stopped greyhound racing in 1986 so Nottingham stepped in and have held the race ever since.
